OVER THLBIG DIVIDE Well Known Salem Man and - Pioneer'In Flax Industry Is Dead Following a stroke of apoplexy while in Portland, Eugene Bosse, the pioneer flax grower of Oregon, died at 8 o'clock last night at the Good Samaritan hos pital. Mr. Bosse, who was 76 years old was found unconscious in his room at tho Perkins hotel yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. He was rushed to the hos pital and was in a critical condifion all day. He went to Portland three days ago in connection with his work at Eugene where he was superintending flax oper ations for the Eugene Chamber of Com merce. He retired early Tuesday even ing leaving a call for an early hour. As ho failed to respond to a later call, the clerk went to investigate and found Mr. Bosse unconscious. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Emile Hansett of Salem and several grand children. As yet no funeral ar rangements have been announced. Mr. Bosse came to Oregon from Bel gium about -0 years ago to take charge of the flax experiments con ducted by a syndicate in which Mrs. W. P. Lord was interested. His ex periments in flax growing were so suc cessful that he won first prize at the St. Louis world's fair over the products of the best growers in the world and at the Lewis and Clark fair in Portland and the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific fair at Seattle. Early in his efforts in flax growing, he suffered losses from fire at his plant near Salem. A large amount of fibre and machinery were burned in 1SI02 in his mills at the mouth of Mill creek and two years another mill near the state farm was burned. He returned to Belgium several years ago and remained there until the Germans confiscated the flax and over-run the. country. On his return to Oregon, he was induced to take charge of the flax work at Eugene and it was while in Portland on business in con nection woth the Eugene work, that he was stricken.

Harney County Tribune: Recent press reports indicate that Crook coun ty will divide instead of moving the county seat, making Bend the seat of the new county. This seems a very amicable way of settling the matter. Outsiders had begun to fear that, where county scats were concerned, the name of the county was significant. THOMAS EDISON Commends the Many Nice Acts of President and Scores Standpatters Not since 18(15 has any campaign made such a direct call on simon-pure Americanism. The times are too serious to talk or think in terms of republican ism or democracy. Real Americanism must drop parties and get down to big fundamental principles. "More than any other president in my memory, Woodrow Wilson has been faced by a succession of tremendous problems, any one of which decided the wrong way would have had disastrous consequences. Wilson's decisions so far have not got us into any serious trou ble, nor are they likely to. He has given us peace with honor. Hughes' talk about the United States being despised iB nonsense. Neutral ity is a mighty trying policy, but back of it are international law, the rights of humanity and the future of civiliza tion. "With reference to Mexico I think the president has acted wisely, justly and courageously. It was right that the I'nited States should not have recog nized such a murderous personality as Huerta. I do not think we should have intervened, nor do I believe that we should intervene now. Mexico is a troublesome neighbor just now, but war and conquest is not going to make her a better one. Both against Eugland and against human slavery the United States worked out its salvation through revolution and it was a pretty slow trying process. "It has been said that Wilson at first was against preparedness. Perhaps he was, but when convinced that intelligent public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of it, he changed. That is the proper thing to do. A president defiant of public opinion would be a dangerous man in our government. "His attitude on the tariff shows an equal openness of mind. A tariff com mission will take the whole problem out of politics. It is my hope that experts will be named and that the body will be continuing and vested almost with the dignity of the supreme court'. "They say he has blundered. Per haps he has. But I notice that he usual ly blundered forward. You can't get 100 per cent efficiency in a democ racy. I don't know that we ought to want it. We would be machines, and we would have to sacrifice too much of freedom. "As I said at the start, it has been just one big thing after another with Wilson. I have never known so many dangerous questions brought up for de cision to any one president. "In my opinion Mr. Hughes, if presi dent, would find it difficult to decide on the best course for the government to take had he been confronted with the possibility of a great railroad strike. His capacity for hindsight, as we learn from his speeches, is highly developed, but as to his foresight we are not equal ly well informed. "Mr. Wilson has now had about 'four years of experience, and he haB earned faith and trust. I do not think it a logical or sensible thine to change to an inexperienced and untried man just for the sake of change, or without much better reasons given for the change than I have noticed. "Roosevelt was my choice. He has had experience and is one of the best of Americans, but the machine-controlled republican party would not have him. Therefore I am for Woodrow Wilson." OPEN FORUM Concerning Tuition. Editor Capital Journal: Just a word about increasing the tuition for stu dents from the country districts at tending the Salem high school. The school board should make haste slowly in so critical an undertaking as to demand of our country boys and girls more tuition than that fixed by the clear intent of the law. In the end the reaction will surely re sult in not only loss to our school fund but also in intensifying the antagon istic feeling against the business in terests in our town on the part of many of the rural residents. Should the present demand of $72,57 per country pupil for one year's tui tion in the high school be insisted on, this attitude will result in many of our farmers moving into Salem with their families resulting in the entire loss of tuition. In other words it will greatly encourage the present movement of the country people into the city, thereby increasing tenant farming in Marion county with a consequent depreciation of our agricultural output. If Salem support is largely depend ent on the surrounding farming dis tricts, any movement that will work in--jury to the agricultural interests sur rounding the city will surely react on the social and business interests in our city. This attempt to build a wall around Salem's schools and shutting- the gates against ambitious country boys and girls unless they pay an exorbitaut tuition fee is certain to divert much of the trade which rightfully belongs to Sa lem merchants, into other channels. The country stores and mail order houses will profit by this move. The capital eity of Oregon cannot af ford to be pernicious in her attempt to hold up the ambitions country pupil. The qnalitv of her citizens will' be mis interpreted by others. Already we find the following com ment in the Oregon Daily Journal of ornvmucr o ox rortianil: "Salem is said to be the only city in the state that is objecting to" Church ill's way of figuriug the high school lumon cnarge.

E Says It Was a "Surrender to Force" and Roasts Presi dent and Congress By Perry Arnold. ' (United Press staff correspondent.) Hampton Beach, N. H., Sept. 7. "It is only one step to the abdication of government," was the characterization with which Charles E. Hughes here to day wound up a vigorous denunciation of the "policy of surrender to force" which he saw in President Wilson's hur rying through the eight hour law in at tempting to avert the railroad strike. The republican nominee went farther in his denunciation of the legislation than in any speech so far and a crowd of about 1,500 cheered him vociferous ly. "It is not an eight hour law," he vehemently asserted; "it is a wage law." He referred to "surrender of the rule of reason" and declared: "Against every effort of that sort by the hand of the executive, the auth ority of congress should be raised. We cannot surender what we have wou for free institutions iu the country. We have won the right of free discussion, a free press, a democratic form of govern ment, freo legislative assemblies, and an executive chosen by the people. We have left autocracy and we have left tyranny and we have left force. They shall not come back if we can help it. "We have had recently at the pro posal of the executive, an act passed by congress confessedly in ignorance of what justice demands; confessedly in ignorance of what tho facts require. It is not an eight hour law, it is a wage law and no one knew whether it was just or not. It may be just, but I am ngninst arbitrary action like that what strikes a blow at the fundamentals of our institutions. I propose in what wo do we shall investigate first and then legislate, not legislate first and then investigate."
